D.J.’s Answer

Hello Roselyn,

I'm here to lend a helping hand and shed some light on your journey towards personal development and gaining recognition. Remember, the pursuit of fame and popularity shouldn't be your primary focus. Instead, see them as potential outcomes of your dedication and valuable contributions. Let's delve into this a bit more:

Building Self-belief and Confidence:

Each person is gifted with unique abilities and strengths. Make it your mission to discover and nurture yours.
Refrain from comparing your journey to others. Your path is special in its own way.
Cultivate self-confidence by celebrating small victories and using positive affirmations.

Cultivating Skills and Talents:

Talent is not inborn, it can be honed. Discover your passion and dedicate time to refine it.
Being smart isn't limited to academic prowess. Emotional intelligence, creativity, and hands-on skills are equally important.
Consider enrolling in online courses or workshops to acquire new skills.

Focusing on Appearance and Self-image:

Beauty is a subjective concept and comes in various forms. Prioritize maintaining good health and presenting yourself in the best way possible.
Confidence can often make a person more appealing than conventional beauty standards.

Managing Financial Situation:

Many accomplished individuals started with limited resources. Concentrate on financial literacy and maximizing what you have. Seek opportunities to boost your income through skill enhancement.

Embracing Being Filipino:

Your cultural heritage is a strength. There are numerous successful Filipinos worldwide across different sectors.
Think about how your unique perspective and experiences can help you stand out.

Steps to Gain Recognition:

Identify your passions and strengths.
Set attainable goals and devise a strategy to reach them. Keep learning and upgrading your skills.
Network with individuals who share your interests. Seek opportunities to display your work or skills.
Consider utilizing social media or starting a blog to document your journey and engage with others. Volunteering or contributing to your community can also lead to recognition.

Remember, true satisfaction stems from personal growth and making a positive difference, not from fame itself. Concentrate on evolving into the best version of yourself and making a positive impact on your surroundings. Success and recognition tend to follow when you're fervent and committed to your endeavors.

I want to leave you with a few quotes to keep in mind during your journey.

"When you look in the mirror, two people stare at you. One who keeps you from your dreams and the only one who can make it happen."

"A [person] isnt great not because he hasn't failed: a [person] is great because failure hasn't stopped [them]."

"Doing your best is more meaningful than being the best. Seek progress, not perfection." -Unknown

"You learn from the mistakes you make and from mistakes other people make. The truth is, you don't learn from success; you learn from failure." -GEORGE CLOONEY

Lastly,
"There are people out there who are less intelligent than you, who are succeeding in life only because they have an unshakeable belief in themselves."

Persevere!

Good luck :)

Hi Roselyn,

You may want to do some self-reflection as to why being popular and famous is important to you. There are lot more factors than can contribute to your future happy life. You already got a lot of great advise on being confident and improving your self-esteem including great role models in both the Philippines and offshore.

Please also consider that being popular and famous also has its drawbacks since if you do become famous in the future, you will most likely sacrifice your private life which is such as luxury in this age of rampant social media.

Regards,

Clark

Steward "Tony"’s Answer

If You Believe All That Nonsense About Yourself, Then You Are Absolutely RIGHT!
I won't stroke your ego young lady because like you, I once felt the same way. That came from the people around me who always shared the negative about me. I lived in poverty and only had a hard but loving mother to raise both me and my brother. Everywhere I looked was dispair.

I can't tell you how to be liked but I know for a fact that if you become a leader, you will be liked. You will be recognized, you will be respected, and you will be thanked for helping others out. You must first be your biggest fan and against all odds, maintain a certain level of confidence in what you can do and not what you think you can't do.

There is no magic wand as God, our Creator, gave you what He gave you, along with a mission to be a light to other in whatever level they appear at. This is so that you and you alone, could grow like a strong & massive mango tree, bearing good fruit for all to desire.

I've been to PI and I know its difficult. My Angie has a little Phillipina and a lot of Puerto Rican in her as her great grand father came from PI to PR to cut sugarcane, but I can tell when she too gets in the same mood. We have been married 48 years and her self doubt was at one point early on destructive but she took steps to make her life better. For and me for us.

I have worked around many celebrities and she has met quite a few and they all loved her, which is why you must never ever put yourelf down in any way shape or form. You must not look at famous people as if they are much better than anyone because the majority have done some horrible things to become famous as well as rich & recognized.

You have PI in your heart Roselyn. Stand proud with honor for your country for the people of PI are loved. Stand with pride that God made you exceptional. For what does it profit a person if they gain the world, the fame , the riches, if they lose their soul.

We are both John C Maxwell Certified Leadership Coaches. Become a Leadership Coach For Youth. Being in Manilla, there are coaches there. let taht be your starting point and make make yourself a star. but start with you.
Love & Respect
Tony & Angie

John’s Answer

Hi Roselyn!

You need to stop that negative self-talk! There are lots of amazing Filipinas who have overcome their fears and personal circumstances. You can decide to be one of them. Please read the stories of these amazing women, written by Niko Del Rey :

https://www.kollectivehustle.com/blog/10-influential-filipino-women

1. Lea Salonga
[She started singing at family parties, coached by her aunt.] Starting with a worldwide household name that most children grew up listening to, THE Disney Princess herself, Lea Salonga. Most commonly known for her voice being portrayed as princess Jasmine and Mulan, Lea Salonga’s resume far exceeds her work with Disney. During her time on broadway, she truly established herself as one of the top voices of our generation by becoming the first Asian female to play Éponine and Fantine in the Broadway musical Les Misérables, not to mention her Tony Award winning performance in Miss Saigon for Best Performance and Best Direction of a Musical. Still breaking barriers to this day, Lea Salonga was recognized by TIME magazine at the TIME100 Impact Awards for being a "life-long role model for kids of color.”

2. Maria Ressa
[Ressa's father Phil Sunico Aycardo, a Chinese-Filipino, died when she was one year old.] From being CEO of Rappler, to having the title of CNN Bureau Chief and ABS-CBN Head of News and Current Events, Maria Ressa’s tenacity to fight for the truth and journalism has truly established her as one of the best journalists the Philippines has ever produced. During her time as CNN’s lead investigative reporter she wrote a piece, Seeds of Terror: An Eyewitness Account of al-Qaeda’s Newest Center of Operations in Southeast Asia (Free Press, 2003), where she focused on terrorism in Southeast Asia. Her groundbreaking work as a reporter garnered her a Nobel Peace Prize that was jointly awarded to her and Dmitry Muratov for “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace”. I think nobelprize.org summed up Ressa’s most recent efforts best when they wrote “As an investigative journalist, she has distinguished herself as a fearless defender of freedom of expression and has exposed the abuse of power, use of violence and increasing authoritarianism of the regime of President Rodrigo Duterte.”

3. Jessica Cox
Jessica Cox is truly inspiring, showing the world that anything is achievable through hard work and perseverance. You might not have heard of Jessica Cox before but the story of how she was born without arms, worked her way to earn a black belt in taekwondo, and also earned her pilot's license to become the first licensed armless pilot, who can take over the light-sport aircraft controls using her feet, no wonder she has been traveling the world as a public speaker to motivate others and share her story. All these achievements were accomplished with just her feet and no assistance from prosthetic arms. Flying planes, competing in martial arts, certified in scuba, driving, taking out her contacts, is there nothing she cannot do? Truly motivated and inspired by a fellow Filipina who doesn’t let life’s obstacles slow her down.

4. Hidilyn Diaz
[Diaz grew up in the small village of Mampang near Zamboanga. She is the daughter of a farmer turned tricycle driver, and grew up poor in a family of eight, with the thought of sports furthest from her mind. In fact, she wanted to be a banker, just so she could be close to money and her mom would stop complaining about the lack of it.] Hidilyn Diaz is well known in the Asian weightlifting community, having won multiple medals in the Southeast Asian Games and Asian Games. For Filipinos, she first became a topic of interest during the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when she ended a 20 year Olympic medal drought for the Philippines with her silver medal in the 53-kg division of the women’s weightlifting. However she truly left her mark internationally when she became an Olympic weightlifting record holder in the women's 55kg category for weightlifting at the 2020 Summer Olympics, the world will forever remember her name. During the same 2020 Summer Olympic games, she carved her name into Filipino greatness by being the first Filipino to bring home a gold medal for the Philippines, being a shining beacon to the world that we can dominate and compete with the best that the world has to offer.

5. Gini Santos
[Santos was born in Pasay. She moved to Guam after age three but returned to study in the Philippines.] Gini Santos has been a Pixnoy (Pinoys working at Pixar) with the studio since 1996 when she began working as a character animator for Toy Story 2. Since then she has also worked on Disney classics like “Finding Nemo”, a “Bug’s Life” and most recently was the supervising animator for Disney-Pixar’s, “Coco”. In addition to being a key player for such iconic films, she was nominated in 2004 for an Annie award for her detailed lifelike animation on Finding Nemo, and was nominated by the Visual Effects Society for an award for this project as well.

6. Dr. Angelita Castro-Kelly
[Castro was born in Jones, Isabela in 1942, but she grew up in Sampaloc, Manila. Her mother was pharmacist Eufemia Albano and her father was Dr. Miguel Castro, who served as Captain of United States Army Forces in the Far East until he was killed in World War II. She was the youngest of six children.] Dr. Angelita Castro-Kelly loved what she did, believed in herself, and fought for the title of NASA’s Missions Operations Manager for the Earth Observing System (EOS), better known at NASA by her nickname “MOM” (Missions Operations Manager). In the Great Ilocanos interview, Dr. Castro-Kelly said “I’m the first woman MOM, so I cracked the glass ceiling. Before me, all the MOMs were men.” Following her achievement of earning the title of “MOM” for Nasa, she won a few prestigious awards including the 2007 Most Influential Award by the Filipina Women's Network, the 2007 NASA Honor Award and Exceptional Achievement Medal, the 2006 Goddard Space Flight Center Exceptional Service Award, the Manned Flight Program Launch Honoree Award, the Goddard Space Flight Center Exceptional Performance Award, and the unique Astronauts’ Manned Flight “Snoopy” award.

7. Aisa Mijeno
One of Asia’s rising scientists, Professor Aisa Mijeno has co-founded Sustainable Alternative Lighting (SALt), a social enterprise that is developing an LED lamp that runs on just table salt and water. Attempting to help rural villages and areas who still use hazardous kerosene lamps, Aisa Mijeno is aiming to mass produce these SALt LED lamps to power-up entire villages across the Philippines using ocean water.

8. Cristeta Comerford
[Cristeta was born in Sampaloc, Manila, the Philippines to Honesto Pasia, a public school assistant principal, and Erlinda Gomez. She grew up on Cataluña Street (now G. Tolentino) in Sampaloc, Manila. She completed her secondary education at the Manila Science High School. She attended the University of the Philippines, Diliman in Quezon City, majoring in food technology. However, she left school before completing the degree when she immigrated to the United States at the age of 23.] From studying food technology in the Philippines, working her way through restaurants in Chicago and Washington D.C. she eventually found herself as an assistant chef in the White House in 1995. 10 years later, Chef Comerford was promoted to White House Executive Chef in 2005 by First Lady Laura Bush, being the first woman and the first person of Asian descent and the first person of color to hold the position.

9. Nieves Fernandez
[Nieves was born in Tacloban City during WWII.] Nieves Fernandez was a school teacher who turned into a reckoning force as a guerilla leader against the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. Japanese soldiers took everything from our homeland as they tortured and killed thousands of Fiipinos, raped helpless women and forced them to work in brothels, and took business away, including Nieves small business. However, when they decided to take her students, she decided that was where she decided to fight back. Nicknamed “The Silent Killer”, Nieves used a makeshift gas pipe shotgun and a blade to kill over 200 Japanese fighters during the second world war, earning her the title of Captain as she lead 110 guerillas against Japanese oppression.

10. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago
[Miriam was born in Iloilo City, the eldest of seven children.] Miriam Defensor Santiago has established global fame for her brilliance and courageous example in fighting corruption. Her honesty and tenacity to disassemble corruption earned her to be elected as Judge of International Criminal Court (ICC) for the United Nations, making her the first Filipino and the first from a developing country to be elected to the position. The ICC is in charge of hearing international cases from heads of states and the election of a Filipino put the Philippines on the global map. Unfortunately, a long battle with lung cancer ultimately caused her to turn down the position which ended in her passing in September 2016.

Roselyn, I hope these few examples have begun to inspire you. Here are some more examples from my own experience as a musician, producer, and audio engineer:

I had the privilege last year to work with Mica Becerro, a singer from Surigao del Norte who placed 3rd in the first season of The Voice Teens. She is now in her twenties and works as a voice coach and social media manager. I was lucky to hire her to sing a cover of "Space Cowboy" by Kacey Musgraves which was released in January. Here is a YouTube link about her journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRBVehL7Kgc (or you can search YouTube for "The Voice Teens Philippines Meet Mica Becerro" . And you can hear our cover song by searching "Mica Becerro Space Cowboy" . )

For several years I've worked with Aleck Rumbaoa, a young guitarist, singer, and producer from Caloocan. She has been simultaneously going to school for a business degree so she is incredibly busy. She has also written and released some songs on YouTube over the past year as well. I'm totally amazed at her hard work and determination to grow her expertise and continue learning her craft while going to school. We've worked together on several songs utilizing her acoustic guitar and mix engineering skills.

Some other young filipinas I've worked with:

Rishel Valdez from Oriental Midoro is going to school and providing graphic arts online as a freelancer. She did a brochure for my last album.

Alyssa Pagal, a graphic designer and data technician who has done photo retouching for my singles cover art and other projects. She also did a spreadsheet and chart analysis of the streaming performance of one of my albums.

Abigail Atiwag from Isabela, Cagayan Valley, a Graphic Designer and Social Media Manager who designed the cover art for one of my singles.

Kaz Zabala, a music producer, singer, and songwriter from Quezon City, who sang the Lead Vocal for my cover of Sade's 'Paradise'

Aika Zabala (Kaz' sister), a vocalist, actress, and voice actor from Metro Manila, who sang Lead Vocal for my cover of the Eagles 'Desperado'

So you see - It's not about being perfect, talented, pretty, or rich (and you ARE smart!) - it's about dreaming big, applying yourself, and never giving up. I know you have these qualities, so get out there and use them.

Good luck on your journey!
